Energetic ions generated by laser pulses: A detailed study on target properties

We present the results of a detailed study on the acceleration of intense ion beams by relativistic laser plasmas. The experiments were performed at the 100 TW laser at the Laboratoire pour L’Utilisation des Lasers Intenses. We investigated the dependence of the ion beams on the target conditions ba...
